lol,

Being home around 3:30 must be the key. My wife would come in around that time and have a beer in her hand before the jacket was off. I would come home 5:30-6:30 (or so) and more often than not she was buzzed and heading for drunk. We rarely went out. Most of her drinking was in the home.

Alcoholics drink because they are alcoholics. Being insecure or whatever may have got them started etc but once afflicted, they have no choice. My wife works in finance and has a very demanding job. But then I have read that approx 96-97% of all alcoholics hold full time jobs. That plays into the denial. Are there many men on here who has the alcoholic wife? (not that I mind chatting with you ladies)
My turn for another question. How long have you been married and did you know or understand the problem Before you got married..Me 17 years/ did not understand (actually thought i hit the jackpot, pretty wife who would have a drink and watch sports with me)
